Aitzaz confirms he was offered govt position

LAHORE: Former president of Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) Aitzaz Ahsan Monday confirmed that he was offered a position by the government.

Talking to media at Aiwan-e-Iqbal here, Aitzaz said he is associated with Pakistan People’s Party and that he finds nothing wrong in accepting a position in the government. However, he said, if he disclosed more details about the offered position it will result in sleepless nights for some people.

Earlier, addressing a seminar on the occasion of birth anniversary of national poet Dr. Allama Iqbal, he said after 62 years Pakistan finally has independent judiciary and now nothing can stop it from progressing.

Aitzaz advised the people, who were protected in criminal cases under NRO, to get themselves pre-arrest bails while those whose cases were in NAB should approach the Supreme Court.
